The
details of the date given as Tula, su 14, Friday, Asvati
correspond to A.D. 1333, October 22, and would enable
the identification of this king with the one who
ascended the throne in A.D. 1326-27. This records an
endowment of four pieces of land measuring 1250 kuli in
all by Atkondadevan Tondappillai a merchant of
Tirunavalur in Tirumunaippadi-nadu to provide for the
various requirements of worship in the temple of
Urbagankondauliya-Nayanar during the four festival days
of the year, at the rate of ten panam for each
festival. The rituals observed on such occasions are
described; so also the articles required for them are
named such as rose water, musk, campnor, saffron and
sandal paste. the lands are said to have been purchased
before gift by the donor from the legal heirs of the
owner who had run away unable to pay the taxes.
